00:00Well thank you very much it's an honor to be with you and I thank the
00:29media for being here we've taken long trips and this was a long one but it's
00:35been working very well we're having tremendous meetings with heads of state
00:39with people a very big consequence having to do with war and peace which is
00:45why we're here and I just want to thank the secretary-general for being with us
00:50we have a few things to discuss it was a meeting I actually look very forward to
00:55he's doing a fantastic job we've been friends we lifted the GDP from 2% to
01:005% together that was done jointly and it worked out really very well and we
01:06appreciate it Mark so we'll be talking about various things we'll be talking
01:09about Greenland I imagine it may come up in our discussion and but I think the
01:16trip has been amazing so far it's been amazing as you know we're saying and
01:20tomorrow we're doing something else having to do with the board of peace we're
01:24getting tremendous acceptance of that it's gonna be great so we'll see how
01:29that all works out but we're doing that tomorrow so thank you very much media
01:33thank you very much and Mark we just wanted to say again as I did this
01:37morning when I was in a panel I want to thank you again for what you did since
01:41coming in in January Trump 47 basically getting the Europeans and Canada to really
01:48step up and that led to the enormous success we had in the egg with 5% which
01:52is crucial to defend ourselves and to also equalize this is what the US is
01:56paying this was a problem already there since Eisenhower I always tell the
02:00Europeans you're completely committed to NATO but there is also that one
02:03irritant and it is this factor that the Europeans were not paying the same as the
02:08US was paying and we solved it and this is crucial also because we need the money to
02:12protect ourselves there's one thing I heard you say yesterday and today you are not
02:16absolutely sure that the Europeans would come to the rescue of the US if you will
02:20be attacked let me tell you they will and they did in Afghanistan as you know
02:25for every American who paid the ultimate for every two Americans who paid the
02:30ultimate price price there was one soldier from another NATO country who did not
02:35come back to his family from the Netherlands from Denmark particularly for
02:39other countries so you can be assured absolutely if ever the US will be under
02:44attack your allies will be with you absolutely there's absolute guarantee I
02:48really want to tell you this because this is important it pains me if you think it
02:51is not and under your leadership this alliance is stronger than ever thank you
02:56very much it's a great compliment any questions the Danish foreign minister
03:02rejected your call to negotiate on Greenland what what will I didn't call him sorry the
03:09press the Danish foreign minister rejected what you said in your speech that you were hoping to
03:14negotiate to acquire Greenland essentially saying that this is not something that they
03:18are willing to discuss so what will those negotiations well they didn't tell me that so when they tell me
03:23because I don't like getting it second-hand if he wants to tell me he'll tell me that to my face
03:27and when will you be discussing this I have no idea when you said I'll be discussing it with this man
03:32right here mr. president he's frankly more important mr. president when you said you would
03:37remember if Denmark did not agree to a deal on Greenland what did you mean what are the consequences
03:43you'll have to figure that out for yourself you're a smart guy mr. president do you see a price for
03:48Greenland that's reasonable I could see that yeah I can see I could see that but there's a bigger
03:54price and that's the price of the price of safety and security and national security and international
04:00security having to do with many of your countries that's really the price and that's the big price and
04:06as you know we're doing the Golden Dome it's going to be very expensive and it's better if we have
04:12Greenland than it is without it's going to be safer it's going to be stronger it's going to be
04:16better for Europe and it's going to be better for us and so we'll see what happens any other question
04:23well I hope that that's true I mean he's he's a good man he's never lied to me before you know
04:37we've had a good relationship and he made that statement that's nice and I just you know when I
04:41see what's happening with Greenland I wonder because I want Greenland for security I don't
04:46want it for anything else we have so much rare earth we don't know what to do with it we don't
04:51need it for anything else and in terms of Greenland you know you have to go 25 feet down through ice
04:57to get it it's not it's not something that a lot of people are going to do or want to do no this is
05:02security we're talking about and I can say one thing about Mark he wants security and he wants security
05:07for all of us I think it's you know we're a member of NATO he wants security for NATO and beyond so
05:13when he says that Steve I think it's you know it's very nice okay thank you very much everybody thank
05:20you press thank you thank you press thank you press let's go let's go start moving
